a friend (and i use the term loosely) once said to me, "what do you as a performer give to the world... you dont save lives... you dont help people... how does anything you do help the world?"

i was reminded of this conversation when reading about the terrible situation in russia and was wondering if any of you had any opinion...?

i'll give you mine soon...

A quote from Declan Donnellan about theatre

" theatre is not only a literal place, but also a place where we dream together; not merely a building but a space that is both imaginative and collective. Theatre provides a safe frame within which we can explore dangerous extremities in the comfort of fantasy and the reassurance of a group."

And a thought/ question from me

Without Theatre, and the Arts as a whole, do we have culture? And thus, without new forms of each can we celebrate where we have come from, explore where we are and look forward to what we may become?
